Big hugs. Hopefully you can get some answers from the specialist! :heart: </p> <p>@Crystal: I really feel for you. I can't imagine the pain of IF PLUS the miscarriage(s). So very unfair. :heart: </p> <p>October has really sucked! We need some happy news! I think I'm going to start the November thread... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2336538 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 08:05:14 +0000 LoveHope 2336538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I'm so sorry about your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how your feeling. Please know that we are all here to offer support in any way that we can. I'm glad you are getting checked out by the fertility clinic so they could help in any way. Will this be the first time you're seeing a fertility specialist?</p> <p>@Crystal: I too love the holidays but I have to admit that it's the most difficult time of year for me. Most of my friends have children and its difficult seeing all the wonderful family activities they do. It's been a difficult few weeks.</p> <p>This is a wonderful support system here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2336343 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:25:00 +0000 Crystal 2336343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: ❤️ I love the support system here. </p> <p>I love the holidays, and this is always when I miss not having children more acutely. I want to be able to do all the Santa stuff and holiday traditions and trick or treating... I am happy to be moving on, just sad to still be stuck TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2336337 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:15:03 +0000 delight 2336337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: yes I just saw on another thread that you will be TTC this month! Good luck! I haven't ventured into other threads yet but I read that you are still sad. I'm still mourning my December loss and now this one. I think I will always be sad about the babes I lost so I get it. It's hard for me to even think about TTC. We are all here for each other no matter what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2336331 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:08:36 +0000 Crystal 2336331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: big hugs.</p> <p>I'm looking forward to moving on and NOVEMBER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2336301 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:34:35 +0000 delight 2336301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi again ladies. I need to catch up. We lost our babe last week at just over 10w. It didn't feel right from early on. My HCG was low and ultrasounds showed it was measuring behind. I opted for misoprostol instead of a d&amp;c and had to take two rounds of the drug. I have a scan on Friday to see if it was a complete miscarriage. I don't know what our plan is. The doctor who I saw at the EPAU referred us right away to the fertility clinic and we have an appointment for December. I'm glad we are going to get checked out. This is our third loss so maybe there is something going on. </p> <p>At any rate I'll catch up with all of you on the November board. We will wait until I get AF back to try again so that'll likely be a December POAS. </p> <p>Good luck to you ladies.<br /> @AmeliaBedilia: I think you made s good decision to wait for your next cycle to do IUI. And way to go on the TI! I have my FX for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2335509 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:22:44 +0000 LoveHope 2335509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: yes agreed. We need a more positive month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2335501 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:15:46 +0000 doxielove 2335501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Sounds promising!! Fingers crossed so hard for you!!!!!</p> <p>It sounds like we can start up the November thread...? I don't think anyone will POAS this week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2334481 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 18:41:24 +0000 LibbyLou 2334481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: I'm back on clomid this cycle (nov POAS) after a few months off. Hopefully that will do the trick for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2334477 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 18:39:57 +0000 LibbyLou 2334477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: lol I'm also left handed and the month I got a positive I felt like my left side was ovulating. I took it as a good sign too! Lol lucky left handed power to you 😂😜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2334206 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:38:55 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2334206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LoveHope: Thanks!</p> <p>We got lots of BD in. Hit O-3, O-2, O-1, and O+1. I started prednisone yesterday and tomorrow is my ovidrel booster. My left ovary finally ovulated, and I'm left handed, so I'm hoping this is a good sign. (The goofy things we tell ourselves.) My RE estimated 7-10% success on meds only, but that was right after my low AMH and prior to my improved follicle count and good response, so I'm hoping 10% is enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331550 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:24:52 +0000 LoveHope 2331550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: FXing for you!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331526 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:13:46 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2331526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: yes. RE called, said to still do ovidrel to help egg maturation/ovulation and progesterone production. I did first one last night so I should O Saturday morning. We've been BD. fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331399 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 10:03:59 +0000 LoveHope 2331399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: I've been moody but I usually am before AF arrives. I'm trying not to symptom spot since I hear Clomid symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms :bummed:<br /> I've had a few headaches here and there but that's it. No crazy Clomid side effects thus far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331330 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 09:11:31 +0000 doxielove 2331330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Did you end up skipping the IUI? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331328 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 09:11:05 +0000 doxielove 2331328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LoveHope: Thanks dear. How is the TWW treating you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331323 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 09:06:46 +0000 LoveHope 2331323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: So sorry about AF. Wishing you all the best on your Clomid cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2331312 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:57:17 +0000 doxielove 2331312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF is here. What an incredibly short cycle. :meh: </p> <p>Here's a toast to you, clomid! May you finally bring me my BFP this cycle!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2328102 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:19:41 +0000 LoveHope 2328102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: I agree with the other ladies. I would trust your gut feeling and roll the IUI to the next cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2327960 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 22:08:02 +0000 Crystal 2327960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: I'd go with your gut. Especially if this is your "last" iui cycle, you want to feel good about it!</p> <p>I *think * AF is due Sat, but not sure. I'm working a crazy amount this week, so it's giving me something else to focus on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2327906 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 21:07:39 +0000 doxielove 2327906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Hmm, I have no specific IUI advice, but it sounds like your gut is telling you to skip the IUI this cycle, do TI, and do IUI #3 next cycle. I'm sorry you're stuck with this situation :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2326706 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:19:19 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2326706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crosspost: </p> <p>The ultrasound showed one 19mm follicle on the left (good, everything is always on the right and had me worried), two others 13mm and 12mm. He told me IUI Thursday or Friday. Thursday morning is problematic for both of us at work, plus Thursday is only day 11. They told us Friday morning was booked except too late (we are supposed to be going out of town). DH called me on the way to work and asked if I felt they were rushing it out of convenience. I do. We think that Saturday would be the ideal day, but they aren't open. One day early would be ok, but triggering the morning of CD10 makes me nervous- that going too fast could compromise egg quality. So I called back and said we'd figure something out and take the late Friday morning, except someone had just booked. I asked for an exception. She spoke to the RE who said they can't do Friday morning, but that Thursday is fine. I think going early also means the two little follicles have no chance of catching up. We are leaning towards just doing times intercourse and doing the third IUI next cycle. What would you do? I'm a little worried they will bill us for the two ultrasound (we have a three IUI package) but DH says $400 is not a big deal in the scheme of things. Also, my ovidrel was left in the cooler in the fridge anextra four days and I know it's fine for 30 days but worried if it will still book for next cycle. (My cycles are usually 25-26 days.) DH and I both don't have a good feeling about this IUI. I have liked the RE but I feel like they prioritize convenience too much and DH and I are contemplating switching docs though the other option here is not great. Sorry for rambling but I'm flipping out here. Advice please! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2326157 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 17:00:20 +0000 agold 2326157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: I'm really hoping that this third IUI does the trick for you! </p> <p>@doxielove: I'm hoping you don't need to move on to clomid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325957 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:45:31 +0000 LoveHope 2325957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: Really hoping you get your BFP this month and don't have to go the Clomid route. I'm rooting for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325955 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:44:23 +0000 LoveHope 2325955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Good luck! I really hope this is your month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325885 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:10:03 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2325885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: yes- femara 5mg and ovidrel as trigger as well as a second ovidrel 5 days later to boost progesterone. I'm also on Cabergoline for elevated Prolactin and I recently had to increase the dose. The side effects of it are terrible. Really hoping we can avoid IVF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325877 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:01:39 +0000 doxielove 2325877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LoveHope: Ahh, you could be our first November BFP!! :wink: </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Wishing you all the luck in the world - I hope this IUI does the trick so you can avoid IVF! Are you on the same meds as IUI #2?</p> <p>AF is expected...Saturday, I think. I'll test on Monday 10/26 if she's MIA over the weekend! Then, onwards to my 1st clomid cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325865 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:56:50 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2325865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My monitoring appointment is tomorrow- hoping for two good follicles and an IUI Friday morning. I'm a little nervous, but the last two scans at this point were good, so it should be ok. Super tired from the meds though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spooky-october-poas-6-months/page/2#post-2325829 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:43:25 +0000 LoveHope 2325829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: Well, they say AF can delay so I think I'll test 11/2. </p>
